1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Eosinophilic esophagitis is a rare chronic disease that mainly occurs in middle-aged males. Treatment with a glucocorticoid and/or proton pump inhibitor is usually necessary to relieve unpleasant symptoms. An 83-year-old female patient with dysphagia and heartburn was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis based on endoscopic findings, while histological examination identified dense infiltration of intraepithelial eosinophils. The symptoms and eosinophil infiltration spontaneously disappeared without any treatment approximately 2 months later. No obvious lifestyle or dietary changes to explain elimination of possible antigens were identified in this case. We report an atypical case of eosinophilic esophagitis with spontaneous regression.
